final word on the subject.
think i will take him out to lunch and simply say, "you doing alright?"
obviously these are symptoms of something much more troubling going on. depression is often outwardly expressed in anger, and as stated, the guy has had to deal with some issues.
i myself have taken a couple of calls that have dropped me to my knees in my life, and need to be picked up. you have to look beyond the surface (just like sports capping) to get a good understand, as things are not what they seem.
thanks for the feedback, i have thought through this today, and while it is always quick and easy to project judgment in today's society, it is often misguided.
i mean, what would it hurt to give up an hour of my time, 25$, and lend an ear? Could change the world you know, if we just stopped and listened a little bit more.
have a great night, and go cheifs !
